| I was diagnosed 3 years ago,A1C was 11%. Doctor gave me 2x Mitformin and other meds and said I should probably start insulin within 6months. I never took the meds they gave me. I started a keto diet righ away and never looked back. Now my tests have been all showing I'm in pre-diabetes range. I eat healthy and walk everyday. I don't miss sugar anymore and I do have fast food once in a while. What I eat:
- Chicken, fish and some meat
- eggs, salad, cheese, milk, tea, coffee
- sugar free biscuits and sometimes sugar free Ice Cream
- a lot of water
- vegetables, and a special bread, no rice I also found out that my insulin get released during lunch and later dinner, but not much during breakfast or after lunch. So I time how much I eat accordingly. The nurse didn't believe her eyes when she saw my results and asked me about what diet I used. I did prick my finger a LOT in the first 3 months but it was worth it, as I now know exactly what to eat and what to avoid. I used a forum extensively (UK oriented) to follow my diet [1]. Hope this helps. [1] https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/#diabetes-discussion.12 Edit: above is not a medical advice nor should you follow it to beat diabetes, it's only my personal experience. |
